Chapter 406 A big event!

Hearing Emperor Liukang's angry reprimand, the corners of Zhao Xiang's mouth couldn't help twitching, anger arose in his heart.

It was my own fault, but I didn't reflect on it, and blamed them instead... Squinting my eyes, Zhao Xiang said, "If Your Majesty had listened to the persuasion of my ministers and not made Lin Zhan an enemy, how could we have fallen into such a situation?"

Emperor Liukang heard this, his immature face flushed red, and he was angry in his heart.

How dare this fellow tear down the stage face to face!

Although he wanted to scold, but knew that the other party should not be offended, Emperor Liukang violently clenched his fists under his sleeves!

"I'm fine now, the two lovers are stepping down!" Although he wanted to appear peaceful, Xiang Zhao could clearly hear the anger revealed in Emperor Liukang's words.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Zhao Xiang looked calm, and cupped his hands and said, "I will take my leave."

After that, he turned around and strode away.

King Zhang frowned and said, "Your Majesty calm down, it is not appropriate to fall out with Prime Minister Zhao at this moment. In the future, there will be opportunities..."

King Zhang didn't say what opportunity he could do, but the two people present knew what it meant.

After a word of persuasion, King Zhang also retreated, turned and left.

"Too presumptuous!" Angrily scolded, Emperor Liukang gritted his teeth for a long time before standing up and striding away.

Many eunuchs and guards waiting outside the hall hurriedly followed, followed by Emperor Liukang, and walked all the way to the sleeping hall.

Passing through a courtyard, Emperor Liukang suddenly heard that there seemed to be someone communicating in the courtyard.

I didn't have a psychological understanding at first, but when I suddenly heard the words "Your Majesty" and "Cuju", Emperor Liukang was a little puzzled.

When did I ever associate myself with Cuju?
If you want to contact, it should be fighting crickets.

Involuntarily, he stopped and listened quietly.

In the courtyard, there were two young eunuchs, sweeping and sweeping, and said, "I heard that the scolding outside the city is ruthless, saying that after the city is broken, His Majesty's head will be chopped off and kicked with a kick..."

"It's so cruel... But the head is kicked like a cuju, is it easy to kick?"

"It should be okay, Gulu Gulu rolled over, and the brains flowed out..."

Hearing what the two said, Emperor Liukang was furious, angry at people outside the city for daring to insult him like this.

Also angry, these two little eunuchs dare to laugh at his head, damn it!
Emperor Liukang, who was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, immediately shouted angrily, "Capture the two people in the lower court, cut off their heads, order the palace guards to kick them a hundred times, if it is less than a hundred, don't stop!"

After saying that, he walked away angrily.

Several guards immediately listened to the order, rushed into the courtyard, captured the little eunuch who heard the words of Emperor Liukang, turned pale, and cried for mercy, and dragged him away!

"Damn the thief of Qin, how dare you insult me ​​like this, you are so angry with me!" Emperor Liukang couldn't help being furious. Think of it as Cuju!

But this is just a fantasy, Liukang can't do it at all... Thinking of this, Emperor Liukang couldn't help but feel sad.

The [-] soldiers are wiped out, and Jing Shou is dead. What should we do in Kangdu in the future?
……

Zhanjing, the residence of Prime Minister Wu.

A travel-worn person came to the mansion and knocked hard on the door.

The door waiting in the courtyard opened it immediately, and saw a young man walking in a hurry outside the door, who seemed to be coming on foot, so he asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

Although there is an old saying, "the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door" refers to the door guarding the prime minister's door, and his status is like a seventh-rank official. If you want to see the prime minister, you must be willing to pass it on.

Therefore, no matter how old the officials are, they will treat the housekeepers and doormen of the prime minister's mansion with courtesy.

In this way, these servants will become arrogant.

But Wu Xiang is different, not only is he indifferent to fame and wealth, he is not surprised by favor or humiliation, but he also often teaches the servants in the mansion not to be arrogant or disrespectful.

Therefore, even though the visitor came in ordinary clothes and walked on foot, Menzi did not show any contempt.

The visitor immediately said, "I am Wanxi, the nephew of Mr. Wu Xiang."

Hearing this, Menzi was slightly startled, and suddenly remembered that he had seen this young man before, and quickly said, "Please come in!"

Although he is only a disciple, he knows very well about Prime Minister Wu's family situation.

Wu Xiang's hometown is Guxian City, Tingluo Prefecture. There is an 80-year-old mother and an elder brother in his family.

Prime Minister Wu originally wanted to send someone to bring the old mother to Zhanjing to take care of her in person, but because the old mother was old and frail, she was not suitable for long-distance travel or the climate of Zhanjing, so she had to stay in her hometown and be cared for by her brothers and sisters-in-law.

And Prime Minister Wu never used his private power, and never promoted his elder brother and nephew to be officials. Therefore, not only in terms of talent, but also his personal virtues are admirable.

The eldest brother is illiterate, and the nephew is clueless. Both of them are in their hometown and make a living by handicrafts.

Although Prime Minister Wu didn't give orders, the county magistrate of Gu Xiancheng knew how to be an official and a man, and he often took care of Prime Minister Wu's elder brother's family, so they lived quite well.

Now, Wanxi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly appeared. The doorman was a little surprised, and hurriedly greeted her in the lobby. He couldn't help asking curiously, "Master Xi, why are you here?"

Wan Xi was a simple person, although his face was anxious, but when he heard the doorman's question, he replied without thinking, "Grandmother is seriously ill, and my father asked me to go to Beijing to report to my uncle."

Hearing this, Menzi was slightly startled, not daring to ask further questions, and hurriedly brought Wanxi to the main hall.

The housekeeper who heard the news rushed over and respectfully asked Wanxi to wait in the hall. After calling for tea and water, he rushed to the study with some servants.

On weekdays when there is nothing to do, Prime Minister Wu will read in the study.

Walking into the study, the housekeeper said respectfully, "Master, Young Master Xi came to the mansion, and the villain has asked him to wait in the hall."

Wu Xiang, who was bending his head to read a book, raised his head and frowned when he heard the butler's words.

Because of his busy schedule and the increasingly chaotic world, he had to sit in the middle of the capital and dare not leave lightly.

Therefore, he has not returned home for five years. Now, when he learned that his nephew came suddenly, he already guessed that something big must happen at home.

He immediately got up and strode towards the main hall.

Not long after, when he came to the main hall, he saw Wanxi with a plain face. Although he was worried, Prime Minister Wu couldn't help smiling, and called out, "Nephew."

Wanxi suddenly stood up and grinned, "Uncle."

After yelling, feeling something was wrong, Wan Xi hurriedly cupped her hands, her movements a little rusty, "My nephew pays respects to my uncle."

Wu Xiang shook his head and said, "No need to be polite, you came to Beijing, but something happened at home?"

Wan Xi suddenly looked sad, "Grandmother is seriously ill, my father asked me to come and tell my uncle."

Wu Xiang frowned suddenly.

Although his emotions and anger were invisible, but now, when he learned that his mother was seriously ill, his face could not help but be covered with a layer of worry.

I haven't seen my mother for five years, and now I have to go back and have a look.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Wu said, "Nephew, you sit in the mansion for a while, and uncle will come to the palace. Please allow your majesty to allow uncle to return to the province on leave."

Wanxi nodded again and again, with joy on her face.

He came here this time because he wanted his uncle to go back with him.

It's because when my grandmother was unconscious, she always called my uncle's name.

But his uncle has a high position and authority, and he didn't know if he could leave Beijing, so he didn't dare to mention it directly.

I only hope that His Majesty will allow my uncle to take leave and return home.

……

Time passed slowly, and it was already seven or eight days later.

In the camp to the south of Kangdu, the gate of the camp is open.

A group of black iron cavalry came rushing from a distance, and under the leadership of the silver-armored general, they rushed straight into the camp.

Entering the camp, after dismounting his horse, he handed over the reins and Han Ning gun to his soldiers, Qin Yi took off his silver helmet, and walked towards the commander's tent. As he walked, he said to the many generals lined up to greet him, " Go to the big account to discuss matters."

Many generals followed suit and followed closely.

After entering the big tent, he put his helmet on the side shelf. Qin Yi was wearing a silver armor and stood in the main seat, his eyes swept over the faces of many generals one by one.

Seeing this sharp gaze, everyone's heart sank a little, and they sighed secretly that Commander Zhen was already imposing, but now that he was wearing silver armor, it was even more oppressive.

Before Qin Yi could speak, Chen Yu couldn't help asking, "Commander Zhen, how is the battle going this time?"

He knew that Qin Yi would never go empty-handed when he went out, but he asked because he was really curious.

Qin Yi said softly, "Front and back, a total of more than a dozen groups of enemy soldiers were defeated, with a total strength of about [-]."

After hearing this, everyone was amazed at Qin Yi's predictive ability, which was so accurate.

I am also amazed that Liukang, one of the five great dynasties, is not far from being destroyed.

Kangdu was in danger, and all the major cities sent out the king's army. There were a lot of them, a total of more than a dozen batches, but the total army strength was only [-]. It can be seen that the troops in these cities could not make ends meet.

A general suddenly said, "Commander, Kangdu has many soldiers and horses, and the city is strong and difficult to attack. How about we attack other cities? After two rounds of division of troops, these cities must not have many defenders, and they can be captured in an instant."

When everyone heard it, they couldn't help agreeing.

Dealing with a small town with only [-] to [-] guards is really easy for our side.

Maybe by attacking cities all the way, in a very short period of time, several or even dozens of cities can be captured in a row.

And Kangdu is so difficult to fight, why waste troops and time here.

Qin Yi shook his head and said, "There are nearly a hundred cities in Liukang. If it is really easy to fight one by one, it is very time-consuming, and this battle should not be protracted."

"Kangdu is always going to be attacked, so it's better to take it all at once. If you go around the city, it won't help your morale. After conquering Kangdu, most of the rest of the city will surrender. Why waste your troops to attack."

Hearing what Qin Yi said, everyone nodded their heads, feeling that it makes sense, but the problem is that Kangdu is not easy to attack.

Someone was about to say that, but when he saw that Qin Yi, who was invincible in all battles, was standing on the main seat, he retracted his words.

There is nothing that this man who has repeatedly created miracles can't do. He doesn't want to say something difficult to attack, and then get slapped in the face afterwards.

Seeing that there were no objections from the crowd, Qin Yi ordered, "Continue to besiege the city. In addition to sending people to shout and scold, we also send some people to fly kites day and night. On the kites, we need to draw some..."

After hearing Qin Yi's arrangement, everyone was slightly puzzled, but they didn't think too much about it, and quickly responded, "The last general obeys!"

After arranging the mission, Qin Yi dismissed the generals, and with the help of his own soldiers, he took off the silver armor.

"How is the situation with General Mu?" Qin Yi asked after washing up a little.

The captain of the personal army, Mao Lifu, replied respectfully, "The situation of the battle has not changed. General Mu still can only besiege rather than attack."

After hearing this, Qin Yi nodded slowly.

It doesn't matter if Mu Haoran can't come to help, anyway, he doesn't plan to attack by force.

To capture this one of the best fortified cities, a strong attack is the next step. If you want to reduce losses, you can only use tricks!
